Kansas newbie

hey people, im kevin. i just bought my very first bike about a month or so ago and it just so happens to be a 1979 KZ1000ST. it has a matte black paint job all over and the only things not factory are the drag bars and air pods. the car was cosmetically flawless when i bought it, but i managed to fix that in the first week or two. i hit a patch of sand pulling out of a parking lot and lost the left rear turn signal, scraped up the crank case pretty good, dented the headlight and speedometer housings and very slightly bent the front left turn signal. the only things mechanically wrong are the valves need a shim job, carb synch, and the odometer doesnt work (but the trip does). this is one of the cleanest rat bikes ive seen and i hope to keep it for a long time. the only thing ill change is its quarter mile time.

Welcome!
As you've found out, that's alot of bike with a ton of power. Nice lookin' ride!

Welcome Kevin...nice to see you made it.

oh its definitely got some power, it keeps up with my friends 2000 something ninja 600. i also dropped the bike at a stop sign 2 days after i bought it, with that much bike, once it starts falling over there isnt much stoppin it.

Welcome, Kevin.

I hope you've gotten over your case of the dropsies.

Nice ride, good to see other people in Kansas with some old Kaws running around.
